Zhang Deming, the most mysterious Taoist in Yongzheng period, why did he make up a cover to fool Lao Ba?

Prince Yin Yong was abolished again, and Emperor Kangxi ordered his ministers to recommend a new prince with both ability and political integrity. Ministers have speculated about the imperial edict, but they dare not make a move. Lao Bayin was born in a humble background, and it was difficult to win the favor of Emperor Kangxi, so he wanted to win public opinion, so he had a chance. Old Eight sent Laojiu to find Tong Guowei, who tried to contact officials, so the people had to rely on their own wisdom.

At this time, Lao Shi found an amateur Taoist Zhang Deming from nowhere. He came up with an allusion of "eight kings and eight kings, there is a king under the white character" to fool Lao Ba. This is normal, Chen Guang uprising, also used the same trick, Kangxi emperor will be deceived by this trick. Therefore, most people think that Zhang Deming's plays are directed and performed by Lao Ba Ginza, in order to find out the attitude of Emperor Kangxi.

Actually, it is not. After Lao Ba reported Zhang Deming to Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi said: "The words of charlatans are not bad words, and sometimes they can represent some public opinions." When Emperor Kangxi said this, there were three ministers standing by, including Tong Guowei. In his view, Emperor Kangxi's words were just acknowledging the public opinion of the old Bayin. So Tong Guowei began to contact officials and wanted to recommend Lao Ba Yin Cuo as the new prince.

But he didn't expect that he had been tricked into playing hard to get by Emperor Kangxi. All the forces of Lao Ba were exposed under Kangxi's nose, and most of the officials that Tong Guowei personally contacted were no longer reused by Kangxi, because Emperor Kangxi wanted to pave the way for Chu Jun's future. Zhang Deming's contribution lies in this. His singing skills made it easy for Emperor Kangxi to wipe out the old Eight Yin ghosts.
